I believe in marriage, not for religion, but for love. Saying it's a religious thing between a man a woman and god is just saying "if you don't believe in god, you have no right to marry." That's just my opinion.

My mom and dad were on and off for 21 years. They just got married back in September 2012. They have two children together and two children each from previous relationships. They're married because they are in love, not because of religion.

the greatest thing you'll ever learn, is just to love and be loved in return.

@Nature is to reproduce- naturally. If a person is unable to reproduce(man or woman) then should they(like un-reproducing homosexuals) not be allowed to marry either? ETA: I know that the point of your nature statement had nothing to do with marriage and more to do iwth homosexuality in nature.

There is a big difference btw the Old Testament and the New Testament. Believers are encouraged to refer to the Old Testament for historical accounts however most Christians (at least folks I know) focus on the New Testaments.

There are many instances of apparently homosexual animals being shunned or killed by their family group (if they are social animals, living in a group.) Usually this happens because their pheromonal output is inappropriate, and therefore considered a “threat” to the others in terms of potentially passing on defective DNA. It has been documented to occur in wild dogs and meerkats.

Differences from the norm are often not tolerated by others in the same species, for example an albino baby might be abandoned or ignored because it threatens the others by not having the right camouflage for the survival of the rest. In the animal kingdom (and we are animals) different is not always good.

And with this, I'm done stating my opinion. Each and every one of us is entitled to their own, and I hardly think any of us are going to change our minds :)
